Murphy Lives!

All of us in the hunter education division strive to do a good job in meeting instructor needs. Sometimes we stumble, and occasionally we fail, but we always remember that we have to provide the best service we can so instructors can conduct training classes.

Over the past several weeks we have received reports from instructors about missing or partial shipments of supply orders. While weather is rarely a problem in getting supplies to instructors in a timely manner, in each of these cases the unusually heavy snows were the root cause. To give an idea of just how big a problem weather can sometimes be, consider the circuitous route this 27.5 pound hunter education package has taken....and it still hasn't been delivered!

We're here to help in this--and similar situations! Just give us a call and let us know when your packages don't arrive as a complete shipment. While we may never find the original shipment, we can always resend additional materials.

Special Pricing On Henry Firearms Once Again Available To Instructors

Henry Repeating Arms is once again offering special discount pricing to certified hunter education instructors. Copies of the 2008 Instructor's Order Form are available from Olympia headquarters staff.

Henry limits instructor orders to two guns per instructor. A completed order form, a photocopy of the instructor certification card, a signed copy of a Federal Firearms License and payment (in the form of check or credit card) are required to submit an order.

Henry also provides free firearm safety literature and catalogs to instructors upon request. If you have specific questions regarding the Henry Instructor Purchase Program, you can contact the staff of Henry Repeating Arms directly at: info@henryrepeating.com

16 MM Films, Target Throwers 'N More Available!

Instructor teams in need of a clay target thrower should contact John Wisner at the hunter education warehouse. John has two or three throwers that are now in need of a good hunter education home!

If you use 16 mm films in your classes (yes, some instructors still do!), John also has a supply of 16 mm films.

All items are available for permanent loan to instructors. Items not cleared from the warehouse by the end of March will be placed on the surplus property list....and we'd rather see these items used by instructors in future classes.

First come, first served!
